Re: IBM i Hosting

No one ever told the customers that hosting (in a general view) is made
to save money, as it depends on what service you expect and what
service you can do by yourself.

It is not about electricity (which is one of the smallest part of the calculation).
Most cost is about services like load PTF, or correct configuration errors
in case of customer played around (when they want to use *secadm) etc.

A small 41A is drawing about 200VA which is not that much if you
only need to take care for electric power and can do the rest
by yourself. Then (i need to admit this as a hoster)
hosting is not for you :)

I looked into cloud before buying my 41A. Even with Holger it wasn't cost
effective, and he was one of the lowest.

It is tough.. but then again you save on electricity. I don't know how
much my system pulls. :) But one of the hosters says it's a lot. I'm
sure it's a selling point.
